MOVING TO FRONT FROM YESTERDAY–SEE UPDATE

both theoretical and applied.  Note that you can choose "I can't decide," and then are given several choices, such as "don't know enough about either" or "think they're both the same" etc.

ADDENDUM:  As some readers have poitned out, some journal names are rather similar.  For example, Social Philosophy & Policy versus Social Theory & PracticeAnd Journal of Ethics & Social Philosophy versus Journal of Ethics verus Journal of Social Philosophy.

UPDATE:  I've closed this poll, since there was some indication on social media of folks rallying votes.  The top six were pretty consistent with last time (Ethics, PPA, J. of Political Phil, J. of Moral Phil., J. of Ethics & Social Philosophy, Utilitas), but after that I'm less sure the results weren't affected.  Pairwise comparison is more vulnerable to strategic voting than Condorcet, alas, although in the past Condorcet also had problems. I'll try running a Condorcet version of this poll next week, and see how that comes out.  Thanks to those who voted, and stay tuned for another stab at this next week.
